ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — We recently got word that Michael Jordan‘s Chicago-area home was up for sale. And as with any 9-bedroom, 19-bathroom, 56,000-square-foot mansion, people seemed to be curious enough to want to check out what that house looked like inside, and there were videos giving posted a tour of the lavish spread. This video has racked up over 2 million views…

Jordan has apparently been trying to sell the house for a while, so this latest round of publicity was tied directly to putting the house up for auction and trying to find a properly motivated buyer.

Today word comes that the proper buyer has still yet to be found: The auction was held yesterday, and the reserve price was not met. According to the Tribune, the house was originally listed at $29 million, making it the most expensive house in the state of Illinois.

What’s next? As Jordan’s spokesperson tells the Tribune, “We are disappointed that the high bid in today’s auction of Michael Jordan’s residence in Highland Park did not meet the reserve price. Concierge Auctions gave great exposure to the property and opportunity, but the market conditions were just not right to drive a fair value. We will be evaluating options for the property in the new year.”

Why should he? It´s his house. He gets to decide the price he wants to sell it with. If you had 20 000 dollars on your bank account would you pay a 100 bucks for a beer just because you could and maybe someone else couldn´t?

i wouldnt buy it and maybe michael jordan is going bankrupt so he needs the money, but tht dosent matter he should have enough money for everything, why would you sell your house close to christmas and everything

I am happy without his lavish mansion. People like him should set an example for materialistic America by just donating it to a non-profit museum if is of no use for him now or donate for a cause. I think that would pay him the best in longer run. Future should wow about his basketball greatness rather than his wealth and how he lived after the fact that he earned through his greatness. MJ you are not taking anything up there to god. All the best!

mmmm . . . The fact that Juanita took half of his cash without ever touching a basketball and these two douchebags being the face representing the house shows that even MJ can run out of luck… everytime this dude made a douchbag comment the price of teh house dropped 5 millions.. The staging of the house made it look a auditorium!

The gym is awesome, but the design of the pool is sort of awkward if your going to be in there with others. 19 bathrooms and 9 bedrooms, seriously?! It’s just unnecessary. And the house has so many different branches and twists and turns that it would be so easy to be secluded from anyone else in the home.

I think the best way to get rid of it is to donate it to Chicago Bulls. And use it as a Club House. After all He was the best player Bulls ever had and the world ever seen. So this-his house should be used as a trademark of Chicago Bulls.

Huge house! I bet when Jordan first had it built he was so excited and ready to spend his life there. Now he’s selling it because its just wood, metal, and dirt that he never uses. It’s a shame how people spend their money and time on things that will one day decay and crumble. Beautiful home, just not all it’s cracked up to be.

It’s no so much the value of the house it’s the maintenance related to it! It will be a hard sell his advisers should have started the bidding war at $8 – $12 million they would probably have started an emotion driven bidding war which would have resulted in a 20 – 30 million dollar sale! Now that this word got it I dunno! lol. By the way since when does the NBA take an interest in residential real estate?

Okay well I got this house I’m trying to flip message me for details! jus kidding!

I don’t know why the media is making a big deal about Jordan can’t sell his mansion. The mansion is elegant and beautiful, shame he’s selling it. My opinion is that no one is going to purchase the mansion.

People who would love to live there because its MJs house, can not afford it… People who can afford it, don’t really care to have it, because they already have a nice house, and dont care if its MJs house

Even if I hit a $700 million Mega Millions jackpot, I am not buying a house for $29mil, that’s unnecessary over-indulgance. Think of how much humanitarian work one can do with $29mil, you could change the world and have greater satisfaction doing that. Long story short, way overpriced.
Try under $10mil

He has always had poor choice in taste. Look how he has dressed over the years, there is a website dedicated to his poor attire. Did you think his flawed taste was only in clothing, its everything. Doesnt mean he aint a smart/lucky business men…

The house is too personalised, If he sold it during his first retirement it would have gone for the highest dollar. Jordan has not played in 10 years and his glory days ending 15 years ago. Having a Jordan court and gold flag would not increase its value.

The value would increase with the market and location prices, its cool to see what MJs life would have been like in 1994 and how supreme and rich athletes live. Although its highly unlikely that anyone with his kind of money would be that much of a diehard fan.
